Meanwhile, someone else said: ‘Oh my god, so fluffy!’
However, some followers were not impressed with Elsa’s choice to buy the dog from a breeder.
“Which rescue was he adopted from because you definitely wouldn’t have bought a breeder!!!!” warned one fan.
Another said: ‘Dog lovers make it our job to spread the message of what is the RIGHT thing to do. Adopt, always!!!’
“My exact thoughts,” someone else chimed in, as other fans clapped back.
‘Real? Like it’s any of your business…ffs,” wrote one.
“Stop being a Karen seriously who cares,” said another follower.
‘Stop patronizing people. There is nothing wrong with ethical breeders,” wrote another defender of Elsa.

The new addition to the family joins Elsa, Chris, their twin sons Tristan and Sasha, 10, and daughter India, 12.
The family lives in Byron Bay in a sprawling $30 million, eight-bedroom mansion set on a huge 4.2-acre plot of land in Broken Head.
But Elsa revealed she wasn’t always convinced about moving Down Under and had a very specific condition for Chris before she moved.
Elsa, who is originally from Madrid, admitted she told Chris she would only move to Australia if they lived on a sprawling farm where she could have horses.
“That was my deal with Chris,” she told the station Courier mail.
“I said I was going to move to Australia, but I wanted to live on an estate, a farm, and have horses, and he knew that.”
Elsa also gave a candid insight into her relationship with Chris and shared their secret to a happy marriage despite many challenges over the years.
“I think we all have this beautiful dream of marriage and loving each other and it’s all perfect, but it’s a lot more work than you think,” she said.

“Omg those floppy ears,” one fan wrote, while another said: “Wow it looks like a wolf”
“It comes with so many challenges, but it’s wonderful to take on those challenges and learn about each other and how we change over the years and how we adapt to each other.
“You can think from the outside that a marriage is perfect, but they all have their stuff and they all need a lot of work.”
Elsa and Chris will celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary on December 22, although she admitted they rarely remember their anniversary.
Although it may seem like a misstep in the relationship, Elsa insisted the date is easy to forget because it is so close to Christmas, and said they laugh about it every year.
Elsa gushed about her husband and also admitted she always wanted a ‘partner for life’ as she opened up about how she wants to grow old with Thor actor Chris.
Elsa and Chris married in an impromptu ceremony while on holiday in Australia in December 2010, just three months after making their relationship public and ten months after first meeting.
They moved to Byron Bay five years later after buying their forever home in the coastal paradise for $7.6 million.
